The "What If" Game

What if we used our imagination

while we read scripture?

As an aid in seeing more clearly.

Our image nation,

or imagination

is often used to hinder us.

We hear:

God is not for me,

that blessing does not apply to me.

They would not except me...

The enemy (or our self doubt),

uses our imagination all the time.

What if we played the “what if” game

in our faith,

to better our understanding

of truth.

What if He really does say my name?

He does,

and I believe He does

because scripture says so.

But when I imagine it...

I am undone.

If you read some delightful thing

about how God rejoices over you

with singing.

You may have great faith,

and instantly believe it's true,

in your core.

But even you...

you of great faith...

if you imagine the Lord,

adoring you

and singing a song of love

as He looks at you,

you must be deeply touched.

What If all that I believe

was seen,

wow.

This is a powerful gift.

God help me to wrap up in your truths

and love you with all of my mind.

Even the creative imaginative parts.

May I grow and be a blessing

to this dark lost world

because of all you show me

as I meditate on your truth.

For Your glory,

Amen
